The 2025 season was the 30th season for the LA Galaxy, a team in Major League Soccer, the top tier of the American soccer pyramid. The Galaxy played their home matches at Dignity Health Sports Park in the Los Angeles suburb of Carson, California. The team opened the season on February 23, 2025, losing at home to expansion team San Diego FC.
In addition to competing in MLS, the club also competed in Leagues Cup and hosted the Campeones Cup. They also qualified for the CONCACAF Champions Cup for the first time since 2015–16 and were eliminated in the quarterfinals by Tigres UANL.
The Galaxy entered the season as defending MLS Cup champions after winning their record sixth title in the 2024 final. With no wins in their first ten matches, they set the worst record for a defending MLS Cup champion.
